I had a choice of these, white, orange or black... Went with black, figured the bike is 'stand out-ish' enough already...

I reckon the orange would have looked half decent as well but if I had a choice id probably like you go with the safer color choice for the tyres. Tyres IMHO moet maar swart wees. :thumbup:

Orange does look nice, just not my taste. With you - solid black or tan wall (depending on the bike).

Nextie have added another pic.  I believe these orange wheels are on an IP-010 frame:

That is beautiful but im sure there will be a stupidly ridiculous price on it making it too expensive for mere mortals to afford :(

 

I found out from canyon what the prices will be and its around R36 000 for the top end one you see there, weighs 12kg so not bad at all actually!!!

Unfortunately for me R36k is waaaaay to expensive to spend on a bike. Especially on a novelty bike like a fat bike. There is much cheaper options in the fatbike segment without the huge premium attached to the name.

For sure. If I lived in Europe and spent my days riding/ racing in snow this would be right up my alley. And, as you say, for what it is - it's a good price point.

 

That said - I would still probably go with rigid steel... :D
